Scoped monkey-patching of a class












1















I need to patch a class, but want the patch be local to some module(s). In Ruby I would do:



module ArrayExtension
refine Array do
def ===(other)
self.include?(other)
end
end
end

module Foo
using ArrayExtension
def self.foo
case 2
when [1,2] then puts "bingo!"
end
end
end

Foo.foo # => bingo!
puts [1,2] === 2 # => false


Is there something similar in Crystal?

    There's no way to do that in Crystal, there are no refinements.

So to redefine === you just define it again.



module Foo
def ===(other)
self.includes?(other)
end
end

class CustomArray(T) < Array(T)
include Foo
end

custom_array = CustomArray(Int32).new

custom_array << 1
custom_array << 2

puts custom_array === 1 # true
puts custom_array === 2 # true
puts custom_array === 3 # false

    Thanks, that could be a good workaround.
